you wouldn't have Beyonce without Queen Latifah. and this debut is jazzy, funky, groovy, and with a flow that is sterling. Ladies First is a killer song.

This is cool art punk. Shot By Both Sides is a banger track and I enjoyed this a lot!

This album is all about taking big chunky swings at big topics with a simplistic fury. But I can't help but prefer Fugazi's faster, simpler fare.

Oh how I wish Proud Mary didn't have so much personal baggage. Though jesus CCR has some fucking pipes. It's dancable, its swampy, its groovy, its bluesy. What more do you want? Keep On Choogglin' is an appropriate blues outro that takes forever. But sonically, it totally works, even if I dont personally love it.

This is probably my favorite of this 90's style hiphop. The range of sampling on display is just killer, and the flow just links up with it so well.

parts are good, 2+2=5. parts are bad, We Suck Young Blood. The back half vocally is closer to like shitty ghost imitation warbling. the intrumentation is generally pretty rock solid though.

Ambient rock groove stylings. cool as a filler and background, but more a mood setter than something I would actively choose to listen to.

This rules. For The Turnstiles is a great track. Really awesome downbeat folk stylings out of Neil on this one.

U2 dialing up the cheese on this one.

White Horses hits this morning. This is a great Stones record. Not concerned with anthems or gyration, this album is trying to throw something more heartfelt at the listener, see Moonlight Mile.

George Michael! Fun pop stylings and some great high notes on One More Try. Monkey is fun. A Last Request is real creepy.

A young Emmylou! Love Hurts! In general, its a little too saccharine for me but the vocal work is excellent.

King's Lead Hat is cool, but Julie With is odd. With this being his last personal "rock" album, you can definetely hear Brian Eno start to want to just float away into ambient music.

This is groovy! Jazz folk blues with some awesome acoustic guitar work on The Easy Blues.

Kind of a cool roots folk country style. I mean she can sing thats for sure. I don't know that I get a lot from it though. Its a nice antidote to stadium country. Greenville is a good song. Joy is a another good song, but I feel like I have heard it before?

Probably as much of an apex album of this hair metal bad boy style as possible. Nightrain was a personal favorite growing up. Thought the back half of the album gets a little more languid in its excess, take away any track and you really lose a piece of the statement they were going for imho. for me its not a 5 star album but, for millions of Boomer dads, this is tops.

weird sounding album. It strandles this line of being heavy blues or early metal. yea whatever.

Cash with a last hurrah doing covers and smashing it out of the park. The Man Comes Around into Hurt has got to be up there with album 1-2s. Absolutely stellar!

This is nothing like any of the Bee Gees that I have ever heard. Its like a Beatles knockoff. not going to lie, this kinda sucks.

Let's go baby, I'm in for some soullllll. Though its themes are a little overly saccharine for me. God is Love is a little too much. Inner City Blues is a bop though.
